That was an entertaining game to watch. Loved seeing that defense come into its own. I was really worried they just wouldn’t find it after losing Jessie Bates and Von Bell, but man they looked good last night. Offense - If Burrow never gets healthy, if he looks like that all year, we’re going to get swept by the Browns and the Steelers. He won’t be able to help out his line against Watt and Garrett who will feast on an immobile target. So basically, we need a witch doctor to come in, specifically a calf specialist witch doctor, and fix our football team.

AJ McCarron baby, the tattooed assassin. And he’s bringing wife, who on a scale of 1-10 is approximately infinity, with him!!

Holy fucking shit, YES!!

I’d guess he’s not playing. He’s injured, missed 3 weeks in preseason, tried to come back, still injured. Too much risk to play him and Browning is probably as good as Burrow in this condition.

I read Mixon was taking some snaps at QB, though that could be wildcat stuff. My guess is Burrow plays.

It’s always New England.

I’d rather see Grier play, probably far from ready though.

Last two NFL games - in Cleveland a drunk fan beside us picked my (disposable) camera up off the concrete, took pics with it and wouldn’t give it back. I had to take it back, the cops got involved. They moved us to an area that they keep available for such situations. Saw a fight there about ten rows in front of us. In cinci - the buffalo game when FITZ magic destroyed us in the 2nd half, the Terrell Owens year. A drunk fan named Rob meant well, but would not stop slurring a bunch of shit to my 7 or 8 year old son. Again, we end up getting moved by stadium security, this time to a pretty good area they keep reserved for handicapped fans. In summary - I can only get along with other nfl fans if they are all in wheelchairs. I bought a ticket from Mem a year or two ago, but didn’t make it to the game. I’m a non drinker and live a sober life, NFL stadiums are not for me.

I know nothing about calf injuries. Neither do the bengals. Taylor once again did not have his team ready to start the nfl season. Maybe they’ll grow the season to 20 games and Zac’s method, circa 1955, of playing yourself into game play level proficiency will prove to be both a nostalgic and a prescient technique. Until then, enjoy Arby’s.

I’ll keep my pessimism about this game to myself. Go Bengals.

Schwartz is good, the league knows that. We got out coached on that side of the ball. Should have run it more.

Abysmal.

Pratt played well.

They were noT ready to play Schwartz’ defense. That’s on our coaches. Mom

For sale: offensive coordinator and line coach. Make offer.

I don’t know what I expect from Mixon, but this isn’t it. In this rain, run the ball.

Pocket collapsing. They rushed 5 there and got good push. Hopefully we’ll identify what they’re doing and make them pay!

Must somehow contain Myles Garrett. Jim Schwartz was a good hire for DC by the browns. Hopefully it’ll take their D a few games to get comfortable with the changes he’s implementing.

Mike on Tee’s extension: ”My dad always made a stew for us. He said, ‘this stew is like a football team, it needs some potatos,’ He also would put some rocks in there, in our stew. Potato stew with some rocks in it, that’s how you build a team. Tee Higgins is good at football.”

Yep.

Highest paid player in NFL history. 219 million guaranteed.

Excellent, my front gutter is lined packed with pine needles.

Grier backed up none other than Jeff Driskel at Florida.

Sample made it.
